Similar studies into the carbon footprint of Ethereum produce similar results. Digiconomist estimates a single Ethereum transaction’s carbon footprint at 33.4kg CO2 and each time an NFT is minted or sold, that’s another transaction. These estimates indicate that a single NFT transaction is likely to have a carbon footprint more than 14 times that of mailing an art print. Both Bitcoin and Etheruem use proof-of-work mining, which is associated with significant carbon output. In the Ethereum eco...
